Anybody still using eBay for BMX stuff?

Avro:
I do not use Facebook, I do not know the pages although I have very quickly tried to find groups. However it is coming up on nearly a daily basis that the part scene is on Facebook.

Recently I have been trading for parts and it has been good, quite fun really, although I am running out of tradeable parts I fear. I trawl ebay and have bought a lot in the not so distant past although I am more discerning now. I did get what I thought was a good deal last week: A pair of silver 9/16 DX pedals which came with a pair of Sugino cranks complete with bottom bracked and spindle. The total was £84 including special delivery; I thought that was a good buy? Opinions welcome.

Last time I built a bike (2015!) I managed to do it through this forum or the people from it
With the exception of a couple of bits (tyres and a couple of odds and sods) bought from shops
I wasn't in a rush and so I didn't overpay for anything, had a lot of help from people who didn't take the piss

All too often you see the line 'I just want what it owes me' from some buffoon who built their bike as fast as possible and paid for their impatience with a high price + postage + import duty

Ady:
Gutted I missed those DX's.
Out walking the dogs and bloody forgot..
This was the guy selling two old race bikes he raced BITD..
That was a bargain.

Avro:
I just followed your links Ady!
That was lucky for me as that was my max. I was very surprised the next morning to find I had won.
The bodies are really quite nice, better than the blue set I traded recently. I also need the cranks for a build so win win.
That said I am very guilty of over spending!

With the exception of my recent finds I am increasingly spending more time on ebay as I don't do facefook and sales on there seem to be the thing.

used to religiously check the for sale section on here 3 or 4 times a day but rarely do now unless a thread title grabs my attention. The museum is getting difficult with shipping and exchange rates and the sense of slow down is as evident on there as it is on here.

Luckily I've always been into oddball stuff rather than the haro master, dx pedal, redline crank stuff so I do still pick up quite a few bits on the bay  :daumenhoch:
